You can try XDcoument with LINQ

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load($"XMLFile1.xml");

var items = xdoc.Descendants("Parcel")
                .Select(xelem => new
                {
                    Name = xelem.Element("Sender").Element("Name").Value,
                    PostalCode = xelem.Element("Sender").Element("Address").Element("PostalCode").Value,
                    Weight = xelem.Element("Weight").Value,
                    Value = xelem.Element("Value").Value
                });

foreach (var item in items)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{ item.Name} - { item.PostalCode} - { item.Weight} - { item.Value}");
}
